(monstrosities)
What Christ is to the church. His preeminence and personal glories; “Son of His love,” the Creator, Sustainer, Victor over death, Reconciler, Head of the body, our fife, our hope of glory, our all. “In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and ye are complete in Him.” Having died and risen with Him, it becomes us to live wholly for Him, avoiding human philosophy and fleshly religion. Wives, husbands, children, fathers, bondmen and masters are exhorted to do all things as to the Lord.
Written by Paul about A.D. 62 from the Roman prison.
